Sailing is so much better than managing when to stop and continue payment for the dozens of streaming services.

I wish there would be more Edgerunners type releases where it’s a companion piece rather than a direct adaptation which allows for way more creative freedom and less burden of being compared.

I enjoyed memes back in the forum days because they weren’t frequent with it being more discussion base, so when they showed up it’d have a tendency to actually be funny. But, move towards generating meme content quickly diluted the experience of memes with forcing of memes.

I never tried anything other than old.reddit.com. And I’ll never try the dreadful reddit app. Redesign has always been trash and terrible at loading content and pushes trash topics at users.

Current system seems like capitalists dream of underpaying employees as much as possible and having the narrative pass the blame to be between customers and workers.

And even better that workers will argue against actually being guaranteed a higher salary in favor of this system on the off chance they might get more. Sort of like gamblers who get off the high of that one big win. Either way, the shift away from having to pay full salaries and benefits is cause for celebration for owners, since they love that it’s more likely they don’t get blamed and instead the customer when the owner has enough money to take home profits and live well instead of struggling like their employees being paid the bare minimum.

It’s pretty much the absolute ideal situation for them. No blame and lower expenses. And most wonderful part of it all is workers being expected to cover the salaries of other workers as opposed to the people at top, so they continue to win in every facet.

With the state of games at launch how many are there that you’d want the unpatched version.

Also there is Jedi Survivor

Same I know him from The Boys and never thought of him as the nepo baby, but now I’ll always be reminded of that. Didn’t know he was Meg Ryan’s kid either.

I would be grateful to be in a position to be called a nepo baby. That means my life is pretty good and I wouldn’t want to struggle unnecessarily if I don’t have to.

Depends on the industry. Degree based ones like medicine or accounting and or trades are easier to get into the industry to make a comfortable living for the average perdon. Now upper tier is another matter, and that does heavily benefit from relationships if going for like high management level positions.

But, the art and performance based ones like movies and music is one where relationship definitely is heavily shifted to being important, and talent and work ethic guarantees nothing. And financial security is very unstable and hard to attain for the average person to grind it out, so every advantage matters to even be considered for a job that could end up being stable.

So nepotism doesn’t discount their talent or hard work, but there’s no need downplay the role it played to even get a shot.
